Default Global west coil over. front waaay too high!!

just installed some global west coil overs with koni adjustables on a 2000SS. the front of the car is 5 inches above the stock right height. everything looks to be installed right. is it possible the springs are incorrect and too long. they are 12" long from eibach.

It's possible that the springs are too long. Did you get them separately or with the kit? The ones included in the kit should be the correct length, but you never know. Call GW and see if they sent the wrong springs.
Do you have the spring seat adjusted all the way down? Did you set the ring for the spring perch in the upper or lower slot on the shocks? The kit should allow over 4" of ride height adjustment, plus another inch or so with the adjustable perch setting on the shocks, so shouldn't be possible to raise it 5 inches if all the parts are correct.

Most kits like those use a 10" spring. That's what my GC kit comes with.
